SETUP

Select one set of dovetail bits from the table for Combinations for Half-blind dovetails with the pins and the tails cut separately in the section"TABLES OF COMMONLY AVAILABLE ROUTER BIT SIZES". Use the following table to determine the thickness of the inlay line:

Dovetail Bit Set	Thickness of Inlay Line in	Approximate Thickness
	Decimal Measurements	in Fractional Measurements
H1	0.100	13/128
H2	0.050	3/64

H3	0.042	5/128

H4	0.028	1/32

H5	0.014	1/64

NOTE: If the thickness of the inlay line is very thin, you may have difficulty cutting the inlay correctly.

MAKE THE FIRST JOINT

The first joint is identical to that described in the section on Half-Blind Dovetail Bits with the Pins and Tails Cut Separately under the chapter “ALTERNATE ROUTER BITS”. Use the inlay material as the pin board (normally the drawer front). For the first joint, cut the tail board with the larger dovetail bit and the pin board with the smaller dovetail bit.

Glue the joint and let it dry.

CUT OFF THE INLAY BOARD

After the joint has dried, cut off the inlay board. Cut off the pin board flush with the inside edge of the tail board (Fig. 71B). Then cut off the front edge of the inlay board (Fig. 71C), making sure that the remainder of the inlay (A) Fig 71D is cut so that the thickness is equal to the thickness found in the table on the previous page.
